Reply to comment by Hoosac_Love in Massachusetts ranked most innovative by "Wallet Hub" by Hoosac_Love

Wallet Hub exists solely to create these lists, that then get shared around and generate ad revenue for them, but are about as useful as peak 2010 BuzzFeed listicles IMHO.

Their cpre business model is similar to Credit Karma, you sign up and get a free daily look at your Transunion credit report and in return they pitch credit cards, loans, and insurance products and collect referral fees whenever someone clicks through and successfully applies.

The credit score they provide (Vantage 3.0 using Transunion data) is virtually useless but the daily free looks at your credit report can be useful.
